HIGHLIGHTS

Blim & Blum

Co-founder, Tom Martin, talks about creating personalised and typographic prints with numerous options for the customer.

Co-founded by Tiffany and Tom, Blim & Blum creates personalised and typographic prints with a huge range of bespoke options to make sure they fit perfectly for any special occasion. All products and materials are made to the highest standards in either the UK or mainland Europe. Here Tom talks fills in the detail...

We are true perfectionists when it comes to our designs and a lot of time and care has gone into finding our beautiful low profile frames that complement them perfectly. All leading to something that we are really proud to send out to our customers

What was the inspiration behind the website?
Very few sites out there with choice and giving the customer control on their product. We provide just that with a multitude of personalisation options and high-end picture frames.

When did you launch the site?
October 2017

What are your greatest challenges?
We both started out with full time careers as a Building Surveyor and Production Manager for an eyewear brand, both very different industries. Pushing a business in the evenings and weekends every week really put a toll on our lives but we stuck at it and developed a business that allowed us to eventually quit our jobs to focus on Blim & Blum full time.

Please recommend a website and / or app that helps you promote your site or that you simply couldn't live withoutShopify.

What is the best piece of digital advice you've been given in regards to your showcasing/running your business online?
You never know how good an idea is unless you test it then, test it again and again. There are so many different ways to market a product or service, some work and others just don’t.
